locales, especially the Ohio of Oliver’s youth. Her childhood plays a more central role in

Wild geese
In short, 'Wild Geese' is a poem, written by Mary Oliver, that expresses what one must
do in order to lead a good life. The speaker, presumably Oliver, is talking directly to her
reader, imploring them to not worry so much about being good; rather, the reader
should be true to nature and the beauty found in it.
